Hi!
Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended till 6 months of age (6 months completed).
After that you can gradually start solids. Make sure you give semi solid food, consistency like ghee. It should not be liquid in consistency. Avoid dal ka pani/chawal ka pani. Give thick dal, rice, steamed veggies etc.
You may contact me for a detailed session on weaning baby to solids.
